this story of the bear the owl and Alice Once Upon a a time in a cozy Forest where streams whispered secrets to the wind and streams hummed lullab lived a little girl named [Music] Alice Alice lived with her loving granny in a small little wooden house that almost seemed to hug you the moment you walked [Music] in now every morning after a breakfast of warm porridge and honey Alice would set off into the forest to meet her best best friends an intelligent owl named Winston and a Big Hearted bear called Alexandre now Winston was known for his wisdom and often enjoyed reciting all sorts of stories about the forest while Alexandre was the most playful bear you'd ever meet his laughter would boom through the forest like a jual Thunderclap and together they were an unlikely but in Inseparable Trio and every day was a new adventure waiting to [Music] happen on this particular day it was I believe a Tuesday the air was filled with the intoxicating Aroma of blooming wild flowers and the forest seemed even more beautiful than usual as Alice walked down the familiar Forest path she felt a little tingling of a excitement today was special not just because it was a Tuesday but because she would see her friends and Winston had sent her a message through a night Andale that they were planning something a far first day of Joy he called it good morning Winston good morning Alexandre Alice greeted them both as she arrived at their usual meeting spot a clearing bathed in dled sunlight the tree leaves rustled as if sharing in her enthusiasm Alexandre lumbered over his big pors thudding Softly on the forest floor while Winston swooped down from his perch bling gracefully on a tree [Music] stump good morning Alice they chorused Winston's feathers were slightly ruffled in excitement and alexandre's eyes shined like twinkling stars and so the preparations began Alexander had gathered berries and Winston was looking forward to telling all sorts of stories but what was most extraordinary was the thing that took Alice's Breath Away The Owl and the bear had Ed a simple yet enchanting canopy made of vines and flowers which hung from the trees and created a magical space in the middle of the clearing this was a lovely place from which to begin their day of Joy yes the three friends were simply [Music] Inseparable once they were together there was nothing wrong with the world and even if things didn't go their way as a trio they could handle [Music] anything today was going to be the most special day that they had ever had and so they began to walk and fly through the forest the trees and flowers greeting them as they walked for in this Forest everyone knew everyone good morning Alice said Daisy the daisy good morning Daisy said Alice good morning Alice said Iris the iris good morning Iris said Alex Alice good morning Alice said Violet The [Music] Violet good morning Violet said Alice Alexandre led the way as they happily continued their walk each step just making them feel even more and more relaxed even more and more Overjoyed at the adventure that lay [Music] ahead this this forest was more than just a collection of trees and plants it was a community the home filled with friends both big and small as they were looked further even the bubbling brook that meandered through the woods seemed to greet them good morning Alice Alexandra Winston it seemed to murmur as they passed by Alexandra's heavy pors splashed a bit of water onto some Pebbles making them chime like tiny Bells Winston usually reserved couldn't help but hoot a jovial Melody Alice Alexandre and Winston finally reached the heart of the forest where the trees seemed to create a perfect clearing a sanctuary where the sunlight poured in like Golden Honey the bear began to lay out the berries he had gathered [Music] earlier plump and juicy they glistened in the sunlight a simple yet heartwarming Feast Winston who was usually more interested in knowledge than food found himself eagerly pecking at a few berries it's amazing how something so simple can bring so much joy Alice said her eyes twinkling as she took in the beautiful scene before her Alexandra agreed it's the simple things that are often the most special because they come straight from the [Music] heart Winston added his wisdom remember the forest teaches us that life is a cycle and every moment is a gift we should treasure these gifts and not take them for granted the forest seemed to Echo Winston's wise words the wind rustling the leaves like applause feeling satisfied and [Music] enlightened the three friends decided to play a game of hide and seek now Alexandre was unsurprisingly not very good at hiding being a bear but made up for it by being an enthusiastic Seeker Alice and Winston found incredible height ing spots up in trees and under bushes they all laughed until their bellies achd each round of hide and seek ending in a joyful group [Music] hug they continued to play games throughout the [Music] day enjoying not just each other's company but the company of the trees the sky and the other little animals that called the forest home but the best part of the day day was still to come for these three were rather fond of the daytime but they loved when the moon came out and the Stars Shone from above offering a cozy blanket in the sky the the three friends were feeling a little sleepy now but so happy in each other's company feeling safe and [Music] sheltered Winston perched himself on a lwh hanging branch his eyes twinkling with wisdom under the soft glow of the moonlight so would you both like to hear a story from my younger days he asked Alice and Alexandra nodded eagerly their eyes wide with curiosity very well Winston began ruffling his feathers as if preparing for a grand tale when I was just a fledgling not yet wise and still exploring the mysteries of the night I became curious about the moon why does it change shape I pondered why does it hide some night and shine so bright on others so young and naive I decided to fly as high as I could to ask the moon these questions myself Winston paused his G days becoming distant as he remembered that adventurous [Music] night I flew higher and higher my wings growing heavy and the air thinning until I realized I could go no further just then a cloud appeared beneath my tired [Music] wings and kindly offered me rest bite and as I sat there on that friendly comfortable cozy Cloud I understood the moon wasn't hiding or changing it was simply a part of a bigger cycle one that I was still a bit too young to understand concluding his story Winston looked at his friends and said the lesson here is that wisdom often comes from understanding our limitations and respecting the natural cycles that are greater than us sometimes the questions we ask are not as important as the journey we take to find the answers Alice and Alexandra listened intently captivated by Winston's tale as he finished they felt a new found sense of respect for their wise friend and the Beautiful World that they lived in Alice looked at her friend The Owl and said that's an incredible story Winston thank you for sharing it and after a moment of silence filled only by the distant hooting of another Owl and the gentle rustling of leaves in the nighttime [Music] Breeze Alice cleared her [Music] throat would you like like to hear a story of mine it's a tale my granny told me when I was very young eager for another story The Bear and the owl nodded Alexandre even settled down on his haunches as if preparing for a long lessen Alice began this is a story about kindness and how a small deed can change someone's world a long time ago a little mouse lived in our forest everyone looked down on her because she was small and seemingly insignificant one day the forest was hit by a terrible storm and a massive tree fell blocking the river the whole forest was in Peril if the River overflowed it would flood our homes her eyes widened for emphasis as she continued everyone tried to move the tree Bears wolves even the elk but it was too heavy just as Hope was fading the little mouse came forward she nibbled and nibbled using her tiny little teeth to cut through the smaller branch anes inspired by her Courage the other animals joined in working together they finally managed to move the tree and saved the [Music] forest Alice paused letting her words sink in before concluding the lesson is never underestimate the power of a small act of kindness or the creatures who offer [Music] it we all have something to contribute no matter how how insignificant we think we are as she finished her story The clearing seemed to be filled with an even warmer [Music] glow as if the moon itself was pleased with her tail both Alexandra and Winston sat quietly pondering the lessons they had learned [Music] now they started to walk back towards Alice's house and on the way because they all felt very sleepy Alexandre the bear decided to tell his friends a very sleepy [Music] tail the bear cleared his throat and a deep and gentle sound seemed to resonate with the very trees around [Music] them I have a tale that my mama bear used to tell me Alexandre began his voice softening as he [Music] spoke it's a taale that brings peace and sleepiness to Restless Cubs long ago in a distant Forest much like ours lived a cloud this was no ordinary Cloud it was a sleepy Cloud during the day sleepy Cloud watched the forest animals play learn and explore but at night it had a very special job the bear paused for effect his eyes twinkling in the soft moonlight once the sky grew dark and the stars came out sleepy Cloud would float gently over the homes of all the [Music] animals sprinkling down a delicate mist the Mist had a magical quality it carried the essence of lavender of [Music] chamomile and most importantly the essence of Dreams the sweetest kind of dreams every animal touched by the Mist would feel their eyes grow heavy their hearts fill with peace and their minds drift into the most most wonderful dreams as the bear told the story his voice took on a rhythmic quality like a lullaby dancing on the breeze the Sleepy Cloud never asked for thanks or recognition it found happiness simply by bringing restful sleep to the tired Souls below [Music] and in the [Music] morning the cloud would drift back into the sky merging with the daylight clouds content in the knowledge that it had given the forest another night of restful [Music] sleep the gentle and kind bear concluded his tale by saying like sleepy Cloud we all all have a unique gift to offer even if it's just making someone's life a little bit more peaceful or a little bit more [Music] restful Sometimes the best gifts are the ones you can't see but can deeply [Music] feel by the time Alexandra the bear had finished his story The Three Friends had almost reached Alice's home their hearts full and their eyes heavy the wisdom and comfort of each other's stories hung around them like a warm blanket guiding them toward a restful [Music] night after ensuring that little Alice was safely back in her cozy wooden home the bear and the owl said good night to each other and went their separate ways the bear ambled toward his own [Music] Abode a spacious Den nestled against the roots of an ancient oak tree a cozy combination of leaves moss and fur made a soft bed within the stand giving it a welcoming Aura the entrance was covered with large branches making it a warm private sanctuary where Alexandra felt most at [Music] peace Winston on the other hand took flight toward a Tall Pine Tree where he had built his nest his home was an intricate weave of twigs and soft feathers situated on a sturdy branch that gave him a panoramic view of the forest the nest was designed to cradle him perfectly and from this lofty perch he could observe the moon and the stars as he settled in for the [Music] night Alice too lay in her bed under a quilt and stitched by her Granny her room was illuminated by the soft Golden Glow of a bed side lamp casting dancing Shadows on the walls and filling the room with [Music] warmth as her eyes grew heavy she thought of Alexandra's sleepy cloud and Winston's wise [Music] Moon and she felt grateful for the lessons learned and the love shared among her and her friends [Music] one by one they each fell into a deep restful Slumber their dreams filled with friendship wisdom and joyous New Adventures waiting for them in the forest they called [Music] [Music] home
